Being the person culpable for all of the deaths in this conflict by being the person to unilaterally cause this conflict means not only is the bombing of the children's hospital Putin's ultimate responsibility, but so is every other atricocity.

That hospital wouldnt have been bombed if Putin didn't start this war. But also, there are hundreds of thousands of deaths through Ukraine, Chechnya, etc. that are his fault, along with untold numbers of Ukrainian children abducted from their parents.

Putin is worse.

He is worse when measured by the harms he has caused.

That, however, is also a measure of opportunity.

Given equal opportunities to cause harm, i have no doubt that they would cause equal amounts of harm. Thus, they are equally evil based on who they are.

I’d measure it by choices and by those, Putin is worse.
